The Foundling Museum
The Foundling Hospital was established in 1739 by the philanthropist Thomas Coram to care for babies at risk of abandonment. Instrumental in helping Coram realise his vision were the artist William Hogarth and the composer George Frideric Handel.
Hogarth encouraged leading artists of the day to donate work, whereas Handel donated an organ and conducted annual benefit concerts of Messiah in the Hospital’s chapel.

The museum is also a venue for Film, TV, Photo shooting, corporate and private events, such as meetings, receptions, weddings...
